It’s that time of the year again – alongside mince pies, turkey and copious booze, the re-examination of classic Christmas songs has become a seasonal media staple. Band Aid’s well-intentioned ‘Do They Know It’s Christmas’ just about gets away with lyrics that now scan as more than a little tone deaf – ‘Where nothing ever […]

As a society, we’re obsessed with illness. It’s weird. It seems like we have to know what’s wrong with everyone, why it went wrong, and if it’ll happen to us. David Bowie’s cancer wasn’t private – it was ‘secret’, apparently. Brands take note of this, rallying around specific illnesses and diseases seen as ‘popular’ within […]

I’ve recently become a bit of an eco-warrior h8e10ex. According to the office I never stop bleating on about veganism or the environment. Perhaps it’s true, but that just means I’m a nice person. However, this article isn’t about me. It’s about what’s now happening to my social feeds. I’m a big fan of using […]

From hairbrushes that ‘listen’ for breaking hair, to sickness detecting wearable devices, it seems digital healthcare has seriously upped its game for 2017. But is a hairbrush that listens out for little screams of pain from hairs splitting as you brush it really the future – ok that’s not actually what happens, I have a […]

It’s quite sad. As we approach the final days of the referendum campaign, I can’t help but feel a little disappointed in how things have turned out. The debate over the European Union and our place within it is a fascinating one. It allows us to reflect on who we are and what it means […]

I spotted this ad on the tube the other day. It stopped me short. If you’ve been following the food debate recently you’ll now know that fat is no longer the enemy. Come on keep up! Butter now trumps margarine in the health stakes – in moderation of course! No longer can margarine claim the […]

Humans beings are very complicated. We’ve never made decisions based on a purely rational, objective assessment of what’s in our self-interest, nor do we behave and react in perfectly predictable ways. Humans are fickle, mysterious and sometimes outright ridiculous. Consider the dozens of cognitive biases (that we know of!) that make our decisions unpredictable. Not […]

This December in the UK has been decidedly different from any other Christmas in recent times. Instead of wrapping up warm in our winter woolies, we’re peeling off the layers in the unseasonably mild weather. Temperatures hitting the mid-teens in Celsius have become the norm and we’re continually opening the windows in the office to […]

As we approach the end of the year, it’s a great time to reflect. To ask ourselves where we have come from and where we are going, so that we can use that clarity to reach further and achieve more. On New Year’s Day, millions of people across the world will be thinking about what […]

My family takes Christmas very seriously. Possibly too seriously. Years ago, all my mum’s huge extended family would get together and we’d sit 25-30 people for Christmas lunch (with a huge sack of potatoes, another of sprouts, enough stuffing to choke a moose, a turkey big enough to require its own postcode and so on).
